Canada's cannabis laws have changed. Watch this video to learn why it's more important than ever to know the facts.
Impaired driving
Drug impaired driving has been a criminal offence since 1925.
Impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal death and injury in Canada.
Cannabis-impaired driving can result in injury or death for you, your passengers and others.
Cannabis:
Impairs your judgement
Affects your ability to react
Increases your chances of being in a crash
Never get into a car with an impaired driver. It is not worth the risk.
Mixing cannabis with alcohol increases your level of impairment and leads to an even greater risk of an accident.
How long cannabis effects last
Impairment can last for more than 24 hours after cannabis use, well after other effects may have faded.
The time it takes for the effects of cannabis to wear off depends on:
how much, and how often you have consumed it
whether it was smoked or ingested
There is no standard waiting time to drive after using cannabis. If you use cannabis, do not drive.
